Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between M8 D-Code, A-Code, and B-Code in this field wireable series?
In compliance with IEC 61076-2-104, the 4-Pin D-Code configuration (rated at 4A and 60V DC) is specifically keyed for 100 Mbps Industrial Ethernet and PROFINET data transmission. The A-Code variants (3, 4, 6, and 8-Pin, rated from 1.5A to 4A and 30V to 60V DC) are designed for standard DC power and sensor/actuator signal wiring, while the 5-Pin B-Code (3A, 30V DC) supports specialized industrial fieldbus protocols.
What cable diameter and assembly tools are required to achieve an IP67 seal?
This right-angle M8 field installable connector accommodates round industrial cables with an outer diameter between 3.0mm and 5.0mm. During assembly, conductors are terminated to the internal solder pins, and the housing is tightened using a SW12.0mm wrench on the main body and a SW10.5mm wrench on the rear PA pressing nut to compress the internal black silicone seal and NBR O-ring for full IP67 protection.
How do the contact and housing materials ensure reliability in harsh industrial environments?
The electrical contacts are precision-machined from copper alloy with gold plating to prevent oxidation and maintain stable signal integrity across at least 500 mating cycles. The external polyamide (PA) shell and nickel-plated copper alloy M8x1.0 coupling nut provide robust mechanical retention and corrosion resistance across an operating temperature range of -40°C to +80°C.
Overview and Application Notes
The M8 Right Angle Field Wireable Female Socket Connector is an industrial-grade circular interconnect engineered for on-site sensor, actuator, and Industrial Ethernet cable assembly. Designed in strict compliance with IEC 61076-2-104 standards, this field-installable receptacle supports D-Code 4-Pin configurations alongside A-Code (3, 4, 6, 8-Pin) and B-Code (5-Pin) options. It features a durable black polyamide (PA) housing, an M8x1.0 nickel-plated copper alloy locking thread, and gold-plated solder cup contacts, delivering reliable IP67 waterproof sealing for outer cable diameters ranging from 3.0mm to 5.0mm.
Key Features
- Multi-Coding & Pin Options: Optimized for D-Code 4-Pin (4A, 60V DC) industrial networks, with full series support for A-Code (3, 4, 6, 8-Pin) and B-Code (5-Pin) configurations.
- Field Installable Right-Angle Design: 90-degree elbow orientation with a compact 35.0mm x 27.5mm profile and 14.0mm outer diameter for tight-space equipment routing.
- Superior Material Construction: Features gold-plated copper alloy contacts, a black PA housing and insulation core, NBR O-ring, and a black silicone cable seal.
- Rugged Environmental Sealing: Achieves IP67 dust-tight and waterproof protection in the locked mating state across an operating temperature range of -40°C to +80°C.
- High Mechanical Durability: Precision M8x1.0 threaded coupling mechanism rated for at least 500 mating cycles with RoHS compliance.
Engineering Specifications & Assembly Guidance
For field wire termination, strip the outer cable jacket (applicable cable OD: 3.0mm to 5.0mm) and slide the PA pressing nut, cable clamp, and silicone seal onto the cable prior to soldering. Solder the individual wire conductors to the rear solder pins (1.0mm contact size for 3/4/5-Pin; 0.7mm for 6-Pin; 0.6mm for 8-Pin). Secure the internal assembly using a SW12.0mm wrench on the body hex and tighten the rear pressing nut with a SW10.5mm wrench to compress the silicone seal, ensuring strain relief and IP67 ingress protection.
